6. Example: Vince�s Problem Vince was making a toy clock to give to his sister for her birthday. He used a dinner plate to draw a circle on a piece of wood and cut out the circle using his father�s jig saw. He now wants to find the centre of the circle so that he can attach the hands of the clock. He remembered hearing somewhere that this could be done using a right angle but he couldn�t remember how this was done. Can you help him find a way?

9. Example: Vince�s Problem Solution: Take a large piece of paper with a right angle in the corner. Put the corner on the edge of the circle and mark where the two edges of the paper meet the circle. If these marks are joined the line passes through the centre of the circle. If this process is repeated after putting the corner of the paper on another place on the edge of the circle, another line passing through the centre can be drawn. These lines cross at the centre.

16. Let's Debrief! We liked this strategy. Although it is easier to apply to Reading/LA, it can be adapted for math. Somebody � What does the problem say? Wanted � What do we need to find to solve the problem But � What information does the problem actually give me (But I only know �.�) So � This is what I need to do to solve the problem
